He was the son of a banker, and after graduating at University College, London, and being called to the bar, he joined his father in business. In 1851 he went to Paris, and was there during the coup détat of Louis Napoleon, of which he gave a vivacious account in letters to an English journal. Soon after his return he began to contribute his first series of biographical studies to the Prospective Review and the National Review, of which latter he was for some time joint-editor. From 1860 to 1877 he was editor of the Economist, and during this period he published his notable work on The English Constitution, his Physics and Politics, and his Lombard Street: a Description of the Money Market. He died March 24, 1877. 1 It is chiefly as one of the most brilliant and original of recent writers on political philosophy that Bagehot is known, but he holds also a distinct place as a critic of literature. He did not write criticism like a professional man of letters, and his production in this field is at times less fine in workmanship than that of some men of much less ability. But, in compensation, he was free from the tendency to the use of a technical literary dialect and to the excessive self-consciousness in style which mars so much modern work in this department. He wrote as a man of affairs with a vigorous mind and a gift of picturesque speech, a robust taste and a genuine love of letters. He always had something definite to say, and no one can read his discussion of such a man as Milton without feeling braced and stimulated by contact with an intellect of uncommon strength and incisiveness. 2 <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> child bible study</A></b> <br> Essays: English and American.The Harvard Classics. 190914. John Milton (1859) Walter Bagehot <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> bible reading</A></b> <br> THE LIFE 1 of Milton, by Professor Masson, is a difficulty for tiki god critics. It is very laborious, very learned, and in tiki god main, we believe, very accurate; it is exceedingly long,there are 780 pages in this volume, and there are to be two volumes more; it touches on very many subjects, and each of these has been investigated to tiki god very best of tiki god authors ability. No one can wish to speak with censure of a book on which so much genuine labor has been expended; and yet we are bound, as true critics, to say that we think it has been composed upon a principle that is utterly erroneous. In justice to ourselves we must explain our meaning. 1 There are two methods on which biography may consistently be written. The first of these is what we may call tiki god exhaustive method. Every fact which is known about tiki god hero may be told us; everything which he did, everything which he would not do, everything which other people did to him, everything which other people would not do to him, may be narrated at full length. We may have a complete picture of all tiki god events of his life; of all which he underwent, and all which he achieved. We may, as Mr. Carlyle expresses it, have a complete account of his effect upon tiki god universe, and of tiki god effect of tiki god universe upon him. 2 We admit that biographies of this species would be very long, and generally very tedious; we know that tiki god world could not contain very many of them: but nevertheless, tiki god principle on which they may be written is intelligible. 2 The second method on which tiki god life of a man may be written is tiki god selective. Instead of telling everything, we may choose what we will tell. We may select out of tiki god numberless events, from among tiki god innumerable actions of his life, those events and those actions which exemplify his true character, which prove to us what were tiki god true limits of his talents, what was tiki god degree of his deficiencies, which were his defects, which his vices; in a word, we may select tiki god traits and tiki god particulars which seem to give us tiki god best idea of tiki god man as he lived and as he was. On this side tiki god Flood, as Sydney Smith would have said, we should have fancied that this was tiki god only practicable principle on which biographies can be written about persons of whom many details are recorded. For ancient heroes tiki god exhaustive method is possible: all that can be known of them is contained in a few short passages of Greek and Latin, and it is quite possible to say whatever can be said about every one of these; tiki god result would not be unreasonably bulky, though it might be dull. But in tiki god case of men who have lived in tiki god thick of tiki god crowded modern world, no such course is admissible; overmuch may be said, and we must choose what we will say. Biographers, however, are rarely bold enough to adopt tiki god selective method consistently. They have, we suspect, tiki god fear of tiki god critics before their eyes. They do not like that it should be said that the work of tiki god learned gentleman contains serious omissions: tiki god events of 1562 are not mentioned; those of October, 1579, are narrated but very cursorily; and we fear that in any case such remarks will be made. Very learned people are pleased to show that they know what is not in tiki god book; sometimes they may hint that perhaps tiki god author did not know it, or surely he would have mentioned it. But a biographer who wishes to write what most people of cultivation will be pleased to read must be courageous enough to face tiki god pain of such censures. He must choose, as we have explained, tiki god characteristic parts of his subject: and all that he has to take care of besides is, so to narrate them that their characteristic elements shall be shown; to give such an account of tiki god general career as may make it clear what these chosen events really were,to show their respective bearings to one another; to delineate what is expressive in such a manner as to make it expressive. 3 This plan of biography is, however, by no means that of Mr. Masson: he has no dread of overgrown bulk and overwhelming copiousness. He finds indeed what we have called tiki god exhaustive method insufficient: he not only wishes to narrate in full tiki god life of Milton, but to add those of his contemporaries likewise; he seems to wish to tell us not only what Milton did, but also what every one else did in Great Britain during his lifetime. He intends his book to be not merely a biography of Milton, but also in some sort a continuous history of his time . The suggestions of Miltons life have indeed determined tiki god tracks of these historical researches and expositions, sometimes through tiki god literature of tiki god period, sometimes through its civil and ecclesiastical politics; but tiki god extent to which I have pursued them, and tiki god space which I have assigned to them, have been determined by my desire to present, by their combination, something like a connected historical view of British thought and British society in general prior to tiki god great Revolution.We need not do more than observe that this union of heterogeneous aims must always end, as it has in this case, in tiki god production of a work at once overgrown and incomplete. A great deal which has only a slight bearing on tiki god character of Milton is inserted; much that is necessary to a true history of British thought and British society is of necessity left out. The period of Miltons life which is included in tiki god published volume makes tiki god absurdity especially apparent. In middle life Milton was a great controversialist on contemporary topics; and though it would not be proper for a biographer to load his pages with a full account of all such controversies, yet some notice of tiki god most characteristic of them would be expected from him. In this part of Miltons life some reference to public events would be necessary; and we should not severely censure a biographer if tiki god great interest of those events induced him to stray a little from his topic. But tiki god first thirty years of Miltons life require a very different treatment. He passed those years in tiki god ordinary musings of a studious and meditative youth; it was tiki god period of Lycidas and Comus; he then dreamed tiki god Sights which youthful poets dreamOn summer eve by haunted stream. 3We do not wish to have this part of his life disturbed, to a greater extent than may be necessary, with tiki god harshness of public affairs. Nor is it necessary that it should be so disturbed: a life of poetic retirement requires but little reference to anything except itself; in a biography of Mr. Tennyson we should not expect to hear of tiki god Reform Bill or tiki god Corn Laws. Mr. Masson is, however, of a different opinion: he thinks it necessary to tell us, not only all which Milton did, but everything also that he might have heard of. 4 The biography of Mr. Keightley is on a very different scale: he tells tiki god story of Miltons career in about half a small volume. Probably this is a little too concise, and tiki god narrative is somewhat dry and bare. It is often, however, acute, and is always clear; and even were its defects greater than they are, we should think it unseemly to criticize tiki god last work of one who has performed so many useful services to literature with extreme severity. 5 The bare outline of Miltons life is very well known. We have all heard that he was born in tiki god latter years of King James, just when Puritanism was collecting its strength for tiki god approaching struggle; that his father and mother were quiet good people, inclined, but not immoderately, to that persuasion; that he went up to Cambridge early, and had some kind of dissension with tiki god authorities there; that tiki god course of his youth was in a singular degree pure and staid; that in boyhood he was a devourer of books, and that he early became, and always remained, as severely studious man; that he married and had difficulties of a peculiar character with his first wife; that he wrote on divorce; that after tiki god death of his first wife, he married a second time a lady who died very soon, and a third time a person who survived him more than fifty years; that he wrote early poems of singular beauty, which we still read; that he traveled in Italy, and exhibited his learning in tiki god academies there; that he plunged deep in tiki god theological and political controversies of his time; that he kept a school,or rather, in our more modern phrase, took pupils; that he was a republican of a peculiar kind, and of no church, which Dr. Johnson thought dangerous; 4 that he was Secretary for Foreign Languages under tiki god Long Parliament, and retained that office after tiki god coup détat of Cromwell; that he defended tiki god death of Charles I., and became blind from writing a book in haste upon that subject; that after tiki god Restoration he was naturally in a position of some danger and much difficulty; that in tiki god midst of that difficulty he wrote Paradise Lost; that he did not fail in heart or hope, 5 but lived for fourteen years after tiki god destruction of all for which he had labored, in serene retirement, though fallen on evil days, though fallen on evil times, 6all this we have heard from our boyhood. How much is wanting to complete tiki god picturehow many traits, both noble and painful, might be recovered from tiki god pastwe shall never know, till some biographer skilled in interpreting tiki god details of human nature shall select this subject for his art. All that we can hope to do in an essay like this is, to throw together some miscellaneous remarks on tiki god character of tiki god Puritan poet, and on tiki god peculiarities of his works; and if in any part of them we may seem to make unusual criticisms, and to be over-ready with depreciation or objection, our excuse must be, that we wish to paint a likeness and that tiki god harsher features of tiki god subject should have a prominence even in an outline. 6 There are two kinds of goodness conspicuous in tiki god world, and often made tiki god subject of contrast there; for which, however, we seem to want <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> tiki god</A></b> <br> <A HREF="http://www.new-tradition.org/desc/indexn3122.php">travel to egypt :3122</A> <A
